Referring particularly to the drawings, 10 represents the rope of a halter, one end of which is formed into a loop 11, to the end 12 of said rope my grip is adapted to be secured. The clip is formed of a single piece of wire, and consists of a shank portion 13, which extends longitudinally of one portion of the loop and has its end passed around the rope as indicated at 14. The
